Kofi Kingston had heard the story and ones like it many times from his mother.
It’s of a teacher from their native Ghana showing students what a computer is by using rocks to represent monitors, keyboards, and the mouse. The WWE star found it hard to wrap his head around so Kingston and his mom, Elizabeth Sarkodie-Mensah, chose to do something about it starting in 2021. They began raising money to start building learning centers and computer labs for junior high schools in Ghana.
To do so, Kingston and his mom officially launched the CLICK for Quality of Education Foundation in October. It isto finish the project started at Atwima Takyiman Presbyterian Junior High School in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. It will house a 50-laptop computer laboratory and a 100-capacity library. The school serves as a central junior high school to the community, which will allow numerous smaller schools to also use the facility.
“If you should feel compelled enough in your heart to be able to give, every little bit counts and I think when it’s all said and done we’ll all be able to come together and do something special for these kids,” Kingston said. “Shawn Michaels was my guy, so anything he asks me to do I’m gonna do it,” Kingston said. “It was an honor to be asked, to be summoned by Shawn Michaels to NXT because he’s Shawn Michaels, but it’s always something we wanted to do. We always wanted to go down there and mix it up with Pretty Deadly.
